When it was on the mannequin I spun it round so the buttons were on the back and it had a polo neck. Pretty limited to what you can do with it to be honest since we want the whole collection (ten outfits) to tie in with each other. Cracking print and decent material though-I would probably buy this if I saw it on the high street!Memory Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16174333509820225962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975450397245514542.post-58866058532393589642011-03-20T08:29:00.000-07:002011-03-20T08:48:12.298-07:00It looks like the deserts vomitted in here...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFmxwT0tqcVl2NEJHODlEOW9qbVlqdGcAAAACaWQKAXgAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" r6="true" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFmxwT0tqcVl2NEJHODlEOW9qbVlqdGcAAAACaWQKAXgAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Since i've been working with the trend, i've discovered it's not only quite difficult to work with, but also to wear, especially if you hate putting two prints together like I do.</div>Think back to the dark burgundys and camel colours you were wearing in autumn and add a tribal twist to bring out your inner explorer! Blue or red stoned jewellery is&nbsp;huge in Topshop at the moment as are feathered earrings and such. Fox it up with on-trend fringes and indian silver detail. <br />Go for chunky heels, weaved waistcoats, high waisted shorts, animal prints, floaty blouses and you'll get the idea. Mustards, burgundys, navys, black, camel, ocean greens and blues etc-typical landscape colours. <br /><br />The photo i've put up is from Topshops S/S11 top picks-and they can't be wrong!!!Memory Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16174333509820225962noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1975450397245514542.post-33901802695321813962011-03-15T14:00:00.000-07:002011-03-15T14:06:43.970-07:00Introducing, my mannequin.

I've measured up my model (typically teensy!) and i've been measured by the other groups, colourblock and tribal to model aswell (typically unsatisfactory!).

I love the seventies, I love the clothes, I love the fabrics.<br />No-one will believe me now but&nbsp;I predicted the seventies coming back for S/S11, honestly I did. I've been preparing for it forever and a day. To get seventies for my trend would of been a dream, garden party I would of happily worked with, even colour block I could of got my head round. But no, I, the most untribal person in the world have been graced with my most hated trend since double denim, Safari and Tribal.<br />Well, it'll&nbsp;be a "challenge" of sorts I suppose...<br /><br />As I was mentally preparing myself for seeing the garments we got, I had a think about what kind of outfit I could make, determined to put some&nbsp;myself into this horrendous trend somehow. I figured the only was to do this was to design my outfit with vintage inspiration in mind, which should be pretty easy considering i'm a savvy shopper and we're getting everything from the Sal. <br />I have a few ideas in mind which should work quite well. All of a sudden i'm feeling rather positive towards this project again, Watch this space!Memory Lanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16174333509820225962noreply@blogger.com0
